Chapter 14: Yue Bao
It's night.
Some yin and yin, the night sky that should have been full of stars lost its color, maybe because his brother was not around, Li Yue kept tossing and turning in bed, her mind was chaotic, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Sleepless nights.
When she woke up in the morning, it was still dark in the room, and Li Yue moved her body, but found that the whole person was paralyzed, and it became very difficult to even get up. You can't be sleepwalking, right? She patted her head, you stupid, where did you get such a habit, you must be tired. Li Yue bypassed the bed, leaned against the wall, slowly moved to the windowsill, opened the curtains, and the dazzling sunlight gushed in at once, and Li Yue hurriedly blocked her eyes with her hands.
Turning around, the mirror next to Li Yue reflected a somewhat tired girl, messy hair, puffy eyes, today is her birthday, her parents are not there, her brother is not there, but Liang Chen is there, and there is an inexplicable sadness in Li Yue's heart. After standing for a while, Li Yue felt much better, turned sideways, and walked in the direction of the door.
The moment he opened the door, Li Yue saw a familiar figure, Liang Chen with an apron tied around his waist, busy at the dining table.
"Chen." She shouted softly, her voice a little hoarse.
Liang Chen turned around with a smile on his face, and Li Yue's heart trembled accidentally.
"Xiaoyue, you're awake, what's wrong, your face is so bad?" Liang Chen hurriedly came to Li Yue's side and asked with concern.
"It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
"It's okay, come and try it, freshly baked breakfast." Liang Chen still had a bright smile on his face, and Li Yue was a little dizzy in his smile.
Li Yue tasted the red date lotus seed soup, well, it was a little too sweet, and it was still delicious made by her mother, but seeing Liang Chen's expectant eyes, Li Yue still said something very delicious against her will.
"My little birthday boy, you have to listen to me today." Liang Chen suddenly said badly.
Li Yue raised her head, hummed, and lowered her head to fiddle with the soup spoon in her hand.
"By the way, you can prepare later, I will take you out to eat at noon, it is said that a new French restaurant has opened in the birch forest, you have always liked French food, just take you to try it."
The response to Liang Chen is still a "um" word.
The clock on the wall was ticking, and I don't know how long it took, it was already eleven o'clock when Li Yue reacted, and after a brief clean-up of her makeup, Li Yue followed Liang Chen out the door.
The faΓ§ade of the restaurant is very new, and there are not many people, so it looks like it is indeed newly opened. Entering the restaurant, a faint fragrance came to her face, Li Yue liked this smell very much, and she sniffed it vigorously. The restaurant is not big, but the design is very chic, there are some simple but very beautiful murals hanging on the walls, and there is a very delicate crystal lamp above each small booth, the light is dim, giving people an extremely soft feeling. Li Yue still chose a window position.
Li Yue didn't say too much during the meal, and Li Yue, who loved foie gras before, felt tasteless in her mouth when she chewed it, but she didn't show it.
"Do you like the taste?" Liang Chen asked.
"Well, that's good." Li Yue replied lightly.
"I'll bring you over next time if you like."
"Okay."
After settling the account and leaving the restaurant, Liang Chen did not drive in the direction of home, but in the opposite direction.
"Chen, where are we going?" Li Yue asked cautiously.
"You'll know when you get there." Liang Chen smiled mysteriously, this smile made Li Yue's heart feel a lot more steady, at least for now, he had no malicious intent.
Soon, the car took Li Yue to the place she used to come to.
"Miss Li, long time no see," one of the makeup artists quickly greeted Li Yue when he saw her, "It seems that she has lost a lot of weight." β
"Ye Feng?" Li Yue's eyes suddenly widened, staring at the man in front of him tightly, "Is it really you, haven't you already gone abroad?" β
Ye Feng shook his head helplessly, "Don't mention it, it's all because I'm too handsome and jealous." β
"You're still so narcissistic."
"Okay, don't talk about it, you have to thank your family, if he hadn't brought you here today, I don't know when I would have met my Miss Li." After speaking, Ye Feng deliberately glanced at Liang Chen, who was standing beside Li Yue.
"Chen, thank you." Li Yue grabbed Liang Chen's arm, Ye Feng is her best friend, just two months ago, he suddenly disappeared, just like the world evaporated, and later learned from a friend that Ye Feng went abroad, Li Yue knew that Ye Feng must have something unspeakable to say goodbye without saying goodbye, so he didn't ask anything more, and he was able to see Ye Feng again today, even Li Yue himself didn't expect it, but it also showed that Liang Chen knew too much about himself.
Liang Chen touched Li Yue's head, still with that standard smile: "It's good if you're happy."
"I said Miss Li, don't show your affection here, it's sweet to death." Ye Feng is still like that, he always likes to speak in such a tone in the past, many girls say that he is too motherly, but Li Yue doesn't think so, she thinks that such a boy can be a girlfriend, and when he sees a handsome guy one day, he can introduce himself to himself.
Li Yue's face was a little red, maybe she hadn't seen her for a long time, she and Ye Feng seemed a little rusty, at least not as close as before, they could go shopping together, gossip together, and even apply nail polish together.
"Xiao Yue, you haven't seen Ye Feng for so long, you should have a lot to say," Liang Chen paused, and then continued: "You let Ye Feng help you set your makeup first, I'll go out for a while, and I'll come to pick you up later." β
"Well, you go, be careful on the road."
After Liang Chen went out, Li Yue felt that the atmosphere seemed to have eased a lot, Ye Feng stretched out his hand, wanting to brush off the broken hair on Li Yue's forehead, but the hand he just raised stopped in mid-air, I haven't seen it for so long, I don't know if Li Yue will adapt to the relationship between the two, after a few seconds, he quickly withdrew his hand.
"Ye Feng, what's wrong?" Li Yue asked a little overwhelmed.
"No, it's probably Miss Li who hasn't seen me for a long time, and she's overjoyed." Ye Feng smiled awkwardly and said with some embarrassment.
"Ye Feng, don't call me Miss Li, I still like you to call me like before."
"Yuebao? Baby? Baby? When talking about the baby, Ye Feng's tone changed subtly, but Li Yue didn't hear it.
"It's Yuebao." Li Yue stuck out his tongue at Ye Feng, he really hadn't called himself like this for a long time.
Li Yue put down her bag and sat on the makeup chair, letting Ye Feng paint on her face.
"Yuebao, you've lost weight." There was an inexplicable feeling of distress that Ye Feng himself couldn't express, he only knew that his hands couldn't help but shake a little.
Li Yue closed his eyes and didn't speak, Ye Feng, I have a lot of things I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start, even if you say it, you won't believe it.
